if you google it, you'll find enough people using this word... i suppose it has something to do with the happiness you feel at the smell of a thunderstorm?

OZONRAUSCH........ is a proper word?!

Well, it might not be in the dictionary, but since German has this wonderful characteristic that allows you to make up new nouns by simply joining two or more that already exist, you are relatively free to make up new words.
Therefore, yes - thanks to 'zusammengesetzte Substantive' Ozonrausch is a proper word.
